    And we’re getting there with COVID. Remember it’s only been available to my age group for a few months.

    Good grief - we've discussed this already. The death rate for small pox was FAR higher than covid ever was.

    Here's a stat that will make some heads spin: "CDC Reports More Covid Vaccine Deaths than Covid Deaths Over the Last Two Weeks"

    "According to the CDC’s vaccine adverse reactions portal, there have been 4,006 deaths following Covid-19 vaccinations reported between June 26 and July 9. During the same time period, the CDC shows 3,114 deaths attributed to Covid-19. That means there have been over 28% more vaccine-related deaths than Covid-related deaths during the two-week period."

    * Please note that it is widely accepted that the VAERS database is likely significantly undercounting adverse reactions to the vaccine.

    ** Also note - of the 3114 Covid deaths, we don't know the number of people who were fully vaccinated, so, the number of people dying from and with vaccinations is even higher.

    https://basedunderground.com/2021/07...ast-two-weeks/

    As already reported here, cases are surging in the UK and Israel - the two most vaccinated countries on the planet. Moreover,

    "In Europe we are seeing surges at many places where most of the population has already been vaccinated.

    At the same time, the 15 least vaccinated countries don‘t seem to face any problem.

    At some point, denying this problem will get painful."

    See many graphs on these trends here:

    In the UK "People Who Have Been Vaccinated Make Up 47% of New COVID Cases" according to a symptom-tracking app: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...w-covid-cases/

    Vaccines have been shown to reduce hospitalizations and deaths.
    A vaccinated person can still pick up the virus and transmit it to others.
    Want to protect yourself and your loved ones...and others?
    Get a vaccine.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    How can line 2 and lines 3/4 be true at the same time?

    I have arrived at this conclusion, as has my wife.

    We have otherwise been very responsible - we haven’t been out much at all (private clubs and friends’ homes for dinners).

    Perhaps it should have been mandated early on. Hindsight is easy. The f’d up mainstream media certainly could not have helped, given tyeir lack of credibility.

    At any rate, if job one is protecting against getting this crap and being hospitalized and then possibly dying, then focus on JOB ONE.

    I actually read an interesting point on the topic of anti-vax now, and the older generations being pretty for vaccines, I don't remember if it was on here, or somewhere else, but basically the theory is that older generations are pretty pro-vaccine because they saw first hand what things like polio and small pox did to people, it's more real and visceral, while the anti-vax crowd of today didn't really see what polio could do to someone, so they can't comprehend it. I know if I were to pick one my child rather have, autism or polio, I'd choose autism every single time (even though vaccines DO NOT cause autism)... anyways that's painting with a general stroke, there's obviously older generations that are anti-vax, and vice versa, but I thought it was interesting.
